Csi: Crime Scene Investigation
: :CBS's surprise-hit science drama, C.S.I., now has a soundtrack that squares well with the show's cyber labs and street scenes rippled with dusky moods and dark colors. The music mix veers from some dinosaur classics to alt rock's neo-trends. Big rock opens the show, in the form of an unnecessarily edited version of the Who's 'Who Are You' and the Wallflowers' single for 2002, 'Everybody Out of the Water.' But then things start for lesser charted waters with New Order's 'Crystal' and a host of aptly eerie soundscapes. Clinic's freaked, thump-pop 'Come into ...

Queer as Folk: The Second Season
: :Those who don't understand going out for the Friday night happy hour, imbibing liberally, and then heading out for the 4 a.m. butt-shifter should avoid this mix at all costs. It's an ode to the bridge-and-tunnel clubbers, a tribute to the Gap dancers of our world, a wink at gym-goers nationwide and a general nod to modern K-tel disco lovers. No-brainer floor-thumpers such as Kim English's 'Everyday' and Etta James's 'Miss You (Illicit Remix Edit)' are groovers and shakers, while Satoshi Tomiie's 'Sneaky One (featuring Deanna)' and Mandalay's 'Beautiful (Calderone After Hour Mix)' ...

Paramount 90th Anniversary Collection: Scores
: :Granddaddy of the Hollywood studios, Paramount Pictures is rightfully proud of its century of contributions to both American cinema and the art of film scoring. But the first disc of this 43-track double-CD anthology merely hints at the studio's musical peaks, blithely skipping through its first seven decades in just 17 tracks. Indeed, the package as a whole seems more interested in marketing its post-'70s catalog of hits and blockbusters than it does in paying real homage to history and roots. Even rarities like Double Indemnity and The Lost Weekend are served up ...

Have A Nice Decade: The '70s Pop Culture Box
from: Rhino / Wea
: :When this material originally resurfaced in an earlier Rhino-celebrates-the-'70s program, many rock scribes contorted themselves into revisionist pretzels: this isn't so bad, they argued--none too convincingly. There'll be none of that here: much of the music on this colossal box set is godawful. The world doesn't miss the likes of Sammy ('Chevy Van') Johns and Sammy ('Candy Man') Davis. Or at least it doesn't miss the records they cut during the decade of disaster flicks and Jonathan Livingston Seagull. That said, this elaborate box is something to behold. The lovingly compiled 92-page booklet ...

Enterprise
from: Decca
: :Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek franchise now encompasses five television series, a cartoon show, 10 feature films, an IMAX presentation, and an interactive Las Vegas spectacular--not bad for a much-mocked '60s TV show its network discarded after barely three seasons. With Enterprise, the prequel that follows the first starship Enterprise on her original missions, composer and previous ST series vet Dennis McCarthy takes the saga's musical reins, instantly imbuing it with a familiar, if more dignified and restrained, sense of discovery and adventure with his pastoral 'New Enterprise' and 'New Horizons' themes. If his ...
